She Starts The Fire (1992)

This film is probably most famous for the cover picture of Chingmy wearing a short skirt being blown up ala Marilyn Monroe in Seven Year Itch. This film has more going for it than this scene - as it has a number of humorous bits and Chingmy looks very cute throughout. She comes to live in HK with her relative Deannie Yip. Her landlord is Lawrence Cheng and his sister DoDo Cheng has an ongoing feud with Deannie. Chingmy also has these supernatural powers such as being able to start fires - literally - and cheat at cards. It's all pretty funny.
